The following letter was written by Trudy's granddaughter, Heidi Beauchamp:

"In 1979, Edward and Trudy Arasimowicz moved to Fishers Island with dreams of living happy and relaxing years while spending time with their family and friends. The bought and fixed up a home that was warm and open while they lived there. As the years went on and Eddy passed away, Trudy continued to live on the Island and worked at the Fishers Island Shopping Center.
She was always busy knitting and crocheting sweaters and blankets as well as making quilts and constantly looked towards the times she could visit her family. Trudy Arasimowicz was the most loyal, hard-working and caring person I know. I am proud to say that she will always be my grandmother-although things will never be the same again.
Fishers Island has become our second home and we would like to extend our heartfelt appreciation to all her friends and relatives for their acts of kindness and expressions of sympathy during the recent loss of our dearly beloved mother and nana. She will forever be in our hearts.
